This is not terribly relevant when generating tracks playing live, but becomes more significant where automation is used, or where control is being bounced around several apps/plugins. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

For me a2j stuff has also worked well in situations where alsa-midi wasn't supported. As I explained in various places I *thought* jack-midi would facilitate quick rendering through jack freewheel. It turns out that is not the case, which IMHO is a pity (but this is more about JACK than rosegarden). So probably this becomes more of a nice to have. Lorenzo. PS1: I started looking recently into Carla as a possible solution for 'all-in-one' plugin hosting paired to RG. Indeed Carla seems to have an alsa-midi mode. I could look more into it and study some use cases and actual C/B of using it, if the community is interested. ___ Rosegarden-user mailing list Rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user
Re: [Rosegarden-user] JACK MIDI... Why?
a2jmidid has been totally invisible for me. One checkbox in Studio Controls (or a line in JACK settings). Need it between my old USB 8x8 MIDI Interface and Reaper. If there are problems with a2jmidid, I'm sorry, I just haven't seen it. (People also say Linux Reaper is experimental and but after 280 hours with no crash, runs fine on 2007 Core 2 Duo 2 GHz, 2 GB RAM, I have to say I can't trust anyone). ___ Rosegarden-user mailing list Rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user
Re: [Rosegarden-user] JACK MIDI... Why?
Personally I don't see any reason to use jack MIDI. About the only piece of software that I use that doesn't use alsa midi is Ardour, which is another reason I don't really care for it. All qtractor, lmms, seq24, reaper, and even bitwig Studio use alsa midi by default.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] JACK MIDI... Why?
Hi Ted, et. al. JACK MIDI is essential for "talking" to wide range of software synthesisers, e.g. the Bristol package (http://bristol.sourceforge.net/). There are work arounds to its absence, such as a2jmidid (https://github.com/linuxaudio/a2jmidid/), but those are a pain to use and are very sensitive to the startup order of various applications. I hope that helps. Regards, Rich Marschall >Next question > >Why do you want/need JACK MIDI? (As with LV2 I may never get to it, > but some justification will help focus the effort if I do.)
